As is the custom around here, it’s time for a look back at the best eroge OPs of the passing year. Similar to past years, I’ve selected my favorite eroge OPs from 2012 based on song quality, visual arrangement and creativity. I’ve also included some console and all-ages titles too. They are listed by release date and you can also view the entire playlist on Youtube. My top 5 this year are Kurukuru PSS, DCIII (OP1), Yukiiro, Supipara and Imaimo (Grand OP). Enjoy!

I think most of the songs in ryuyoku no melodia was awesome. After all…it is a certain famous band’s vocalist *cough*nanjolno*cough* and Sakakibara Yui with Elements Garden.

Airetta | December 31, 2012 at 6:55 am
and I always thought that Monobeno’s opening title is titled “Natsuhate” ._.

When is Robotic;Notes an eroge? It is more towards adventure type.

Micchi | December 31, 2012 at 11:37 pm
@Oot: That’s the sole reason why that OP is on the list.
@Jin: As mentioned in the intro paragraph, I included all-ages and console games too despite the title. There were a few which I thought warranted being included.

Very nice list, Micchi. I tried a Top 10 post for the first time. It came out alright, I hope. I think I’ll do it again next year.
